DNA
is the newest 21st century tool in our arsonal to advance Gordon family and Gordon Sept research.

Whether you are simply curious or a seasoned genealogist, DNA testing will likely help you find
previously unknown Gordon cousins, fill in missing family history, discover to which Gordon branch you belong and help identify the origins of our Gordon surname. You supply the DNA, and the project's volunteer House of Gordon researchers...the answers.

DNA
is not a substitute for conventional research; rather, it serves
as a supplementary research method to scientifically support and enhance
your conventional research, often breaking down research walls in the process.

By including
detailed family histories and other resources, these pages are intended
to help the conventional researcher, as well as those who have submitted
DNA. Updated almost daily, you will also find many free tools, links and a host of other researchers to help in your Gordon research quest.

So join us today and let us help you find your House of Gordon ancestors.

In the mid-1990s,
the Internet became the best tool ever to happen to genealogical research, networking researchers around the world.
Then, as if it could be outdone, in 1999, Family Tree DNA - in cooperation
with the University of Arizona - started offering DNA testing. Together,
the powerful combination carries genealogical research into the 21st century. Now, we have the opportunity to take advantage of
modern science and technologies and participate in DNA testing at a group discount for our House of Gordon surname project.

Testing takes
only 10-minutes and involves a simple swab of saliva from inside your cheek
in the privacy of your own home. To see a picture of the Kit, click
here.

Once the
results of the tests are returned to you by email, they are automatically
included in an online database, where our DNA is matched to
others sharing a similar genetic sequence. To protect privacy of our testers, you are identifiable only by kit number and an email address. No other private information is given.

It should be noted that DNA Testing
does not take the place of conventional research. It does, however, give direction
to research efforts, making your research more productive and eliminating
a lot of guess work. It can help break through brick walls, giving solid evidence of ancestors' origins. Since most
of our Gordons were very mobile, they were also very elusive:
avoiding census takers, probate court, marriage records, undertakers, even
tax collectors! DNA can help us connect to cousins who are related
by blood and interested in sharing information on their Gordons.

Although a variety of DNA testings are available for us, it is recommended
that you start out with the 67-marker Y-DNA test (the 12-marker test is too general for practical genealogical purposes). Kits
including the Gordon Group Discount may ordered directly from the Gordon
section of the Family Tree DNA webpage.
